Today’s English: Worldwide over 1.4 billion people live in countries where English has offical status. One out of five of the world’s population speaks some English. And at present one in five is learning English. With economic globalization and China’s opening up to the world, it has become increasingly important for the younger generation to master English. In a sense, English is not teachable, but learnable.2. Language learning strategies: They are used by learners to complete speaking, reading, vocabulary, listening or writing activities presented in language lessons. Recognizing that there is a task to complete or a problem to solve, language learners will use whatever strategies they possess to attend to the language-learning activity. Possible language learning strategies include: using practice opportunities, self-evaluation, selective attention, time management, reviewing notes taken in class and checking one’s understanding, constantly seeking answers to questions instead of passively receiving information, ect.3. Input-output balance theory in language learning:Input in language learning refers to information read, seen or heard by the learner, while output refers to what the learner produces in writing or speaking. The input-output balance theory in language learning believes that one can learn a language well through maintaining a balance between input and output.Part II. Warm-up Activities:Step 1. Ss Introduce themselves and talk about new college life.Step 2. Topic-centered Discussion(Group work)1.Do you enjoy learning English? Why or why not?2.What do you think is the most effective way of learning English?3.What is the greatest difficulty you have in your learning of English?Step 3.

As we try to understand the meaning of a word, we are also reminded of (它们的习惯⽤法) their idiomatic usage.Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four basic skills that (我们不断努⼒试图获得的) we are constantly trying to acquire. In order to improve the four skills, we are suggested to listen to English every day, (抓住⼀切机会说英语) seize every opportunity to speak, read widely (难度适中的材料) materials at a proper level of difficulty and write regularly. Listening and reading (为我们提供语⾔输⼊) provide uswith language input and we are expected to (实际运⽤我们所学的东西) put what we have learned into practice through speaking and writing.Structure:A strategy refers to a set of carefully planned methods for achieving something that is difficult and may take a long time.In introducing some strategies, the author adopts the structure of Problem—Strategy within a paragraph to show us the problems in English learning and then proposes strategies to solve the problems. Please scan the text for some examples of the Problem—Strategy structure.Problems Strategies1. It is impossible to memorize 1.

大学英语精读说课稿

大学英语精读说课稿

大学英语精读说课稿各位专家,各位老师大家好!今天我所说的课程是我院人文社科系高职商务英语专业的《大学英语精读》课程,大学英语精读(intensive reading)是大学英语中扩展英语词汇语法,提高英语阅读能力与写作能力的一种最佳方式,下面我将主要从以下四个部分说起(请看ppt)。

首先让我们来看一下第一部分教学大纲.一、教学大纲。

本部分共包括四项内容(一)制定依据:《大学英语精读》这门课程的教学应该说是建立在两个基石之上。

首先,它是一门英语专业课,它要遵循英语教学的规律与要求,融合传统与现代教学理念:强调打好扎实语言基本功,突出综合应用能力的提高。

同时,它又是在当前职业教育这个大背景下的一门课程,它又要彰显职业教育的特色。

当然,还要结合我院的实际情况。

以下这三个文件是我们制定大纲的主要依据。

(《高职高专英语课程教学基本要求》(2000年教育部出台的用于指导职业教育背景的英语教学)、16号文件(2006教育部推出的一项重要政策,对全面提高高等职业教育教学质量提出了指导方向)及我院的办学定位(培养德、智、体、美全面发展的高素质、高技能专门人才)(二)课程性质:本课程性质为郑州交通职业学院人文社科系商务英语专业高职学生专业必修课。

(三)课程定位:大学精读既是一门基础学科又是一门工具学科1. 基础中体现必要性,旨在帮助高职英语专业学生进一步打下扎实的语言基础。

基础中体现着重要性。

语法与词汇是高职英语主干课程的任务,只有基础打扎实了,才能服务于其它课程。

课时任务量每周8课时,训练时间相对宽松。

2. 工具学科要体现够用度即满足人文素质提高的基本要求我系学生专业课学习的一个辅助工具。

大学精读是学生中学英语学习与专业英语学习的一个巩固和衔接,这要求就要把学生中学时期遗留的问题一边解决一边转移的同时还要为高年级阶段开设的专业英语以及以后的学历提升做好铺垫。

工具学科需要特长培养和气氛带动,语言的精髓在于表达和交流,一个人的语言表达好坏展示一个人的精神和素质面貌。

As a shy young visitor to Einstein's home, I was made to feel at ease when Einstein said, "I have something to show you." He went to his desk and returned with a Yo-Yo. He tried to show me how it worked but he couldn't make it roll back up the string. When my turn came, I displayed my few tricks and pointed out to him that the incorrectly looped string had thrown the toy off balance. Einstein nodded, properly impressed by my skill and knowledge. Later, I bought a new Yo-Yo and mailed it to the Professor as a Christmas present, and received a poem of thanks.As boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach. But this did not frustrate him. He was content to go as far as he could.In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy, vanity, bitterness, anger, resentment, or personal ambition. He seemed immune to these emotions. He was beyondany pretension. Although he corresponded with many of the world's most important people, his stationery carried only a watermark - W - for Woolworth's.To do his work he needed only a pencil only a pencil and a pad of paper. Material things meant nothing to him. I never knew him to carry money because he never had any use for it. He believed in simplicity, so much so that he used only a safety razor and water to shave. When I suggested that he try shaving cream, he said, "The razor and water do the job.""But Professor, why don't you try the cream just once?" I argued. "It makes shaving smoother and less painful."He shrugged. Finally, I presented him with a tube of shaving cream. The next morning when he came down to breakfast, he was beaming with the pleasure of a new, great discovery. "You know, that cream really works," he announced. "It doesn't pull the beard. It feels wonderful." Thereafter, he used the shaving cream every morning until the tube was empty. Then he reverted to using plain water.Einstein was purely and exclusively a theorist. He didn't have the slightest interest in the practical application of his ideas and theories. His E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation in history - yet Einstein wouldn't walk down the street to see a reactor create atomic energy. He won the Nobel Prize for his Photoelectric Theory, a series of equations that he considered relatively minor in importance, but he didn't have any curiosity in observing how his theory made TV possible.My brother once gave the Professor a toy, a bird that balanced on the edge of a bowl of water and repeatedly dunked its head in the water. Einstein watched it in delight, trying to deduce the operating principle. But be couldn't.The next morning he announced, "I had thought about that bird for a long time before I went to bed and it must work this way…" He began a ling explanation. Then he stopped, realizing a flaw in his reasoning. "No, I guess that's not it," he said. He pursued various theories for several days until I suggested we take the toy apart to see how it did work. His quick expression of disapproval told me he did not agree with this practical approach. He never did work out the solution.Another puzzle that Einstein could never understand was his own fame. He had developed theories that were profound and capable of exciting relatively few scientists. Yet his name was a household word across the civilized world. "I've had good ideas, and so have other men," he once said. "But it's been my good fortune that my ideas have been accepted." He was bewildered by his fame: people wanted to meet him; strangers stared at him on the street; scientists, statesmen, students, and housewives wrote him letters. He never could understand why he received this attention, why he was singled out as something special.

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension:(25 minutes)1A teenager in 1972, Bill Gates said he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20. While he did not quite achieve that goal, only 15 years later, he was a billionaire. And by 1992, he became the richest man in America with a wealth of about US$6.3 billion.Born in Seattle, Washington, on 28 October, 1956, Gates was named William after his father and grandfather. From the beginning, he was an extremely energetic and intelligent child. He had read the entire World Book Encyclopedia by the age of nine. His favorite subjects at school were science and mathematics and his favorite hobby was “thinking ”.But although he was clever, his social skills were not as good. He was a year younger than most of his classmates and small for his age. The skinny, left-handed boy with big feet and a squeaky voice was often the object of jokes and found himself treated as an outsider by his classmates.If being laughed at bothered young Bill, however, he didn ’t show it. While other children密封线内禁止答题were outside enjoy playing games and enjoying sport, Bill spent all his time writing essays or reading his favorite books. When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, 11-year-old Bill said, “A scientist ”.Gates first started to play with computers at the age of 13, when one was installed at his school. At that time, computers were large, awkward machines. Users were required to learn complex computer languages before the machines could be used. Even then, a great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions. Before long, Gates was an expert at working the school ’s computer. Along with a group of older students, who had a similar interestin the awkward machine, he set about learning every computer language and function there was. Eventually, in order to spend more time at the computer, Gates agreed to help develop computerized class schedules for the school. It was a project that would take all of his years in secondaryschool to complete.Choose the best answer for each of the following questions. 21. When did Bill Gates first become a billionaire?A. When he was 15 years old.B. When he was 35 years old.C. In 1992.D. In 1987.22. What does the author imply when he said that Gates had read the entire World Book Encyclopediaby the age of nine?A. Gates had a good memory.B. Reading was Gates ’ favorite hobby.C. Not many nine-year-old boys could do it.D. The book was popular among the nine-year-olds23. Compared with most other school children of the same age, young Bill was____________.A. shortB. tallC. fatD. left-handed24. Bill and a group of older students set about learning every computer language and functionbecause___________?A. computers were large, awkward machines thenB. they all liked working with computersC. it was difficult to learn to work with computersD. they had the same interests and hobbies25. Gates helped develop computerized class schedules for the school because___________.A. he hoped that he could spend more time at the computerB. he wanted to earn some moneyC. he hoped to be awarded a prize by the schoolD. he knew the project would last many years2Some people are born with the belief that they are masters of their lives. Others feel that they are at the mercy of fate.New research shows that parts of those feelings are in the genes.Psychologists have long known that people confident in their ability to control their fate are more likely to adjust well to growing old than those who feel that they drift on the currents of fate.Two researchers who questioned hundreds of Swedish twins report that such confidence, or lack of it, is partly inborn and partly drawn from experience.They also found that the belief in blind luck---a belief that chance plays a big role in life---is something learned from life and has nothing to do with heredity.The research was conducted at the Karolinska Institute---better known as the body that annually awards the Nobel Prize for medicine by Nancy Pedersen of the Institute and Margaret Gatz, a professor at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Their results were recently published in the United States in the Journal of Gerontology .People who are confident of their ability to control their lives have an “internal power of control ”, and have a better chance of being well adjusted in their old age, said Pedersen. An “external power of control,” believing that outside forces determine the course of life, has been linked to depression in later years, she said.“We are trying to understand what makes people different. What make some people age gracefully and others have a more difficult time?” she said.The study showed that while people have an inborn tendency toward independence and self-confidence, about 70 percent of this personality is affected by a person ’s environment and lifetime experiences.Pedersen ’s studies investigated the aging process by comparing sets of twins, many of whom were separated at an early age.The subjects were drawn from a list made about 30 years ago registering all twins born in Sweden since 1886. The complete list has 95,000 sets of twins.26. According to the new research, confidence comes from_______________.A. the currents of one ’s fateB. one ’s ability to control one ’s life密封线内禁止答题C. the external power of controlD. one ’s genes and lifetime experiences 27. People confident in their ability can__________.A. determine their own course of lifeB. let fate determine their own course of lifeC. win a Noble PrizeD. stay healthy until a very old age 28. People who lack confidence____________.A. do not lead a happy lifeB. can be masters of their own livesC. think chance is important in their own livesD. both B and C29. Which of the following statement is true?A. Heredity and lifetime experiences play an equal role in gaining confidence.B. Environment and lifetime experiences play an important role in building confidence.C. People confident of their ability will never suffer from depression.D. People who lack confidence can have a good time when they are old.30. The passage mainly tells us that___________.A. if people are confident, they are masters of their livesB. if people are not confident, they never lead happy livesC. about 70 percent of one ’s confidence is affected by environmentD. confidence is partly inborn and partly learned later in lifePart Ⅳ Rewrite or complete the following sentences according to the required sentence structures: (10 minutes) 31.

C. and lasted until 3000 B. C. Its name was derived from the stone tools and weapons that modern scientist found. This period was divided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages. During the first period, (2million to 8000 B. C. ) the fist hatchet and use of fire for heating and cooking were developed. As aresult of the Ice Age, which evolved about 1 million years into the Paleolithic Age, people were forced to seek shelter in caves, wear clothing, and develop new tools.During the Mesolithic Age (8000 to 6000 B. C. ) people made crude pottery and the first fish hooks, took dogs hunting, and developed a bow and arrow, which was used until the fourteenth century A. D..The Neolithic Age (6000 to 3000 B. C.) saw humankind domesticating sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle, being less nomadic than in previous eras, established permanent settlements, and creating governments.38.

NeolithicNapoleon Bonaparte’s ambition to control all the area around the Mediterranean Sea led him and his French soldiers to Egypt. After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for three years. In 1799, while constructing a fort, a soldier discovered a piece of stele (stone pillar bearing an inscription) known as the Rosetta stone. This famous stone, which would eventually lead to the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics dating to 3100 B. C.. was written in three languages: hieroglyphics (picture writing), demotic ( a short-hand version of hieroglyphics), and Greek. Scientist discovered that the characters, unlike those in English, could be written from right to left and in other directions as well.Twenty-three years after discovery of the Rosetta stone, Jean Francois Champollion, a French Philologist, fluent in several languages, was able to decipher the first word-Ptolemy-name of an Egyptian ruler. This name was written inside an oval called a “cartouche”. Further investigation revealed that cartouches contained names of important people of that period. Champollion painstakingly continued his search and was able to increase his growing list of known phonetic signs. He and an Englishman, Thomas Young, worked independently of each other to unravel the deeply hidden mysteries of this strange language. Young believed that sound values could be assigned to the symbols, while Champollion insisted that the pictures represented words.43. How many years elapsed between the date of the oldest hieroglyphics deciphered by means of the Rosetta stone and the stone’s discovery?A. 1,301B. 1,799C. 3,100D. 4,89944. Which of the following languages was not written on the Rosetta stone?A. FrenchB. demoticC. GreekD. hieroglyphics45.

When was the first word from the Rosetta stone deciphered?A. 3100B.C. B. 1766C. 1799D. 182247. What was the first word that was deciphered from the Rosetta stone?A. cartoucheB. PtolemyC. DemoticD. ChampollionAt sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,” he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twentypounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’sarithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in hotel for three weeks. Later in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.48. Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen?A.His father made him leave.B.He had reached the age when he had to leave.C.He left because he was worried about the future.D.He left because he wanted to start work.49. What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school?A.He thought his son was doing the right thing.B.He advised him to stay at school to complete his education.C.He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.D.He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.50. It took about a year for Ron to realize thatA.he worked well because he was interested in the job.B.his work at the supermarket was dull.C.being at work was much better than going to school.D.the store manager wanted to get rid of him.51. Why did Ron leave the supermarket?A.He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.B.He took a job as a lorry driver.C.He gave up the job because he felt unwell.D.He wanted to work at the seaside.52. Ron was able to take over the shoe shop becauseA.he got on well with the manager there.B.he knew how to keep the accounts of the business.C.he had had experience of selling books.D.he was young and strong.The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economist. It had been argued that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more scope for specialization and the developmentof facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them.One of the difficulties in carrying out a world-wide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw materials. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.53.
